Does my 451 have to small of a cam?

Roger Price said

Ok guys, I got the cam out and I think I've been had! The gear drive has 3 marks on it and 1 on the cam. The one on the cam was lined up with the mark right of center. Also there is a # stamped into the cam between the lobs 292. Isn't that the cam size? And between the carb and intake is a thick plate with 4 holes way smaller than the prim./secd. On the carb! What's up with that?

Why can't you post some pictures of some of this stuff? Some of the stuff you describe, like the rear suspension "I don't know what it is" and the fuel system, make this rig sound like an all out strip car

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "a thick plate" "holes way smaller"

OF COURSE that will slow the car down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you even done the BASICS?

WHAT IS the total ignition timing????

DOES the carburetor even open all the way????
